AT THE uasnntLL Park.

A banner that's lazily floating,
A throng that Is waiting and noting
The by.play of players, u dOtiGg
On pets IN the field, the soft whlrring
OF fans in an air scarcely stirring,
A chatter Of thousands, recurring
And that's tho grand stand.
A figure that's twisting aud twirling,
Streng fingers with craftiness curling
About the white ball that goes twriDg,
The wizards will faithfully serving,
To right or left suddenly swerving,
With all trickiness in It's swift curving-
That's the man 10 the box.
A pitch er's pert look: "Don't you wish you
May get it2" a waiting an Issue,
A wasting Of muscular tissue,
A streak and n stroke close together,
A saving Of midsummer weather,
An impact OF hands and of leather
And that is one strike.
A poising, a ga,h'ring OF forces
In veins where the blood Of the Morse is,
Which now like the Berserker's courses,
A face with flash which is height ming
A glance like hawks and lightning
or grip, then stroke as OF lightning
"Crash ~ That ia hit.
Flying feet over green swsrd, hurry
or men to their places, scurry
OF figures far outward, "A Hurry,

OF voices, n fierce homeward rushing.

there was a romauce about the mater or

eminent Professor of Mathematics at
Harvard College, was at an evening

a long and earnest talk. AT the end
Of the evening he asked his host,

The Farmers Class.

The third course of lectures to the " farm
ers' class " at the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College will com
mence January 81. These lectures are de-
signed to bring to the farmers the latest and
best information on the practical subjects of
every day farm life. The desire is to reach
and benefit the largest number possible,
and therefore no entrance examination is
required and no tuition fee charged. Ar
rangements have also been made with the
railroads to furnish free return tickets to all
who come by rail. The subjects to be
treated in the present course include stock
feeding, drainage, frut-cuture, fertilizers
and several other subjects to be hereafter
announced. The University has been for
tunate in securing Mr. A. w. Cheever as
the first lecturer in the course. Mr.. CheeNer
is the well-known editor of the NeW England
Farmer and numbers scores of friends
among the farmers of Vermont. He is one
of the most entertaining and instructive
speakers that come into the state, and the
subject which he has chosen Grass-cul'
ture," is one of paramount importance tc
our dairy interests. The lecture will be
given at the University Friday afternoon
January 81, commencing at three o'clock
The remaining lectures of the course will be
given Tuesday and Friday afternoons of the
succeeding weeks. With no entrance eX
animation no tuition fee and free return
ticket, there is no reason why any farmer
should absent himself from these lectures.

The idea of canvass was to literally pat
ronize the grocery, as the liquor annex to
the general trade was called. 1t was treat
and be treated, and brush whiskey was de-
pended upon to create political enthusiasm
in great measure. When Logan was
nominated he stated positively to his
friends that he would not conduct that
kind of u campaign. There should not be
drop of whiskey in his politics. The leaders,
who were in many cases Interested in the
grocery trade, demonstrated, but he re-
NAMED firm. They told him he would GER
tainly be defeated Very we'll" he said,
" | want to run on that plan and get beaten
if necessary" The result surprised every
body as he was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.-New York World.
GENERAL LOGAN was one of the best
known public men in Washington Though
not overload of walking in late years, he
could frequently be seen in the streets of
the capital going from department to de-
partment, on to and from the capitol in the
morning and afternoon on any fine day.
For many years he lived in dingy little
clearinghouse on Twelfth street, where
his family occupied few unpretentious
rooms on the second floor. And yet his
quarters were overrun at all times of the
day by visitors of every kind and degree
from the leaders of society to the humble
applicant for office, from the high military
dgnitary to the poor veteran who wished
to obtain a pension, from the political chief
tain to the trusted camp-follower and adj
mirer. When, about three years ago, he
moved to Iowa Circle, it was somewhat of a
relief to him to be rid of number OF
troublesome callers who had made his
rooms in Twelfth street sort of convenient
stamping-ground, from which the good ma
ture of the general found it difficult to dis
lodge them at times. About two years agt
the general purchased the house in which
he 1ip1

The Soldiers Home.

The trustees of the soldiers home held
an adjourned meeting in Burlington De-
cember 2S. The quit-claim deed of the Park
property at Bennington was submitted. The
only unusual provision of the deed is that
when the property shall cease to be used as
soldiers home the legislature at its then
next session shall cause the improvements
made on the property by the trustees of the
soldiers home to be appraised, and if the
trustees of the Park home shall pay the ap-
praised sum in ninety days thereafter the
property is TO revert to them, but II they fail
to tender that amount then the property is
to revert to the state, to be used as a charit-
able or educational institution. An amend
ment to the bylaws, submitted at previous
meeting by Colonel Estey, was adopted, in
structing the finance committee to advise
and direct the treasurer as to the invest
ment of money. On motion of Colonel
Childs, the finance committee was author
lied to fix the compensation of the treasurer,
and, on motion of Colonel Mansur, il was
voted that $4,000 be the amount of the
bonds to be furnished by the treasurer.
Speaker Grout gave notice of proposed
amendment to the bylaws, providing that
quarterly meetings of the trustee be abol
ished. He also moved that the finance
committee have general charge of the home
